jayo, a day or two of warm sunshine - nothing to worry about, pack a bikini

jayo, if you think anyone can forecast accurately that far out, then worry, worry a lot.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Which St Johann are you going to, and which are you searching for? A quick browse of the (massively unreliable) 10 day forecasts, for St J in Tirol and St J in Pongau show 7ºC being the max temp over the next week or so...

All the snow will melt and you will be able to hike up the mountain picking flowers.

After all it is free

I AM GOING TO TIROL, JUST WANTED TO KNOW IS IT TO BE BELIEVED OR WHAT. IT IS A LOW RESORT THATS WHY I WAS ASKING, IT COULD ONLY NAPPING TO ME. SNOW HAS NOT BEING GOOD THIS PASS COUPLE OF WEEKS. ANYWAY I WILL JUST WAIT TILL I GET THERE.

As you can see snow is excellent. I was there skiing the area in mid december and had a superb time and there has definately been snowfall since! it does look likely that it may be a little milder from say wednesday, however this should make for some very pleasant conditions on piste although if off piste maybe not so? I plan to be in fiberbrunn from next sunday for ten days, and this is a great area with lots of off piste potential. It is higher than st johan in tirol at just over 2000m where as st johan is 1700m so snow may be better there. It is a very easy 10-15 min bus trip and covered on the schweewinkl pass. Definately worth a day or two! However you say you do not go until the 9th....which is ages in terms of weather, but there are indications that temps will drop. In essence I would have no concerns and hope we can reassure you so you can chill a bit. Also the slopes are predominantly north facing, so therefore snow retention and condition is enhanced.
I trust you will have a fab time!!

jayo, they have 120cm / 35cm, whats not good about that? You don't need much snow in Austria, 15cm would be plenty to slide on.

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

jayo, stop shouting please.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

jayo, temperatures go up and down in the mountains quicker than those undergarments on a lady of the night! Today the forecaster's were warning us of +10°C and rising - tell that to my frozen fingers when I stopped to take some photos. It did actually climb above zero for the first time in weeks though

We do have a strong Föhn system setting up - but it peaks on Wednesday and then the mercury is confined to the lowest levels of the basement for the next few days, further than that is just educated guesswork and can change on an hourly basis. Snow does not just melt away here in the mountains the way it does in the UK. They know how to prepare and maintain the pistes for the whole 5 months plus that the ski season runs! Dinna fash ye'sel!

So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

How have you worked out that it hasn't been good if you haven't been here?!

You know it makes sense.

Pongau?

What sort of name is that for a ski resort?

True

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

we skied in +8C all day and all week on 1 birthday bash, AND it hadn't snowed for a month before hand! May be warm forecast but there has been recent snow, and more snow forecast.
OK that was in the dolomites, but the dollies are famous for sun and not so much snow compared with some nearby regions in the Alps.

under a new name, It's a region not a resort! Too many vats of sauerkraut perhaps?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

^^ On a similar note I giggle every time I go up the Schattberg lift in Saalbach...

Returned home last night from a week staying at the Park hotel in St Johann in the Tirol and had a fantastic holiday. Skied on the local slopes and at nearby Steinplatte over the week. Skiing and quality of snow is excellent, there is plenty of snow and as the locals on snowheads know better than anybody the standard and quality of piste management is outstanding. As others have said do not worry, there is plenty snow to ski on the mountains for the next two months.
